CARE OF THE TEETH.
A Dentist Advises the Use of Only
Water With the Brush

Water With the Brush.
From the Boston Saturday Eueniag Gazette.
what should a man use TO clean his
teethm was the question asked of a we'll
known dentist recently. The dentist replied
at once:
Nothing but water There arc more
good teeth ruined by so-called dentifrices
than by all other causes in the world put
together. The object of the makers OF
these dentifrces is, of course, to produce
preparation that will, with very little rub
bling of the brush, make the teeth look per
fectly clean and white. To accomplish this
they put pumce stone and sometimes strong
alkalis in their preparations. Pumice stone
will unquestionably take all the tartar of
the tooth, and will also, just as unquestion-
ably, take all the enamel with it. An alkah
will make yellow tooth look white in
few seconds, but before q week has passed
it will have eaten away nearly all the en-
amel and utterly destroyed the tooth. In
walking along the street you often see a
'fakir' by way of advertising his patent
dentrifice, call "A small boy from the crowd
near by, and, opening the boys mouth, rub
the dentrifice on his dirty teeth, and in min
ute, almost, take off all the tartar and make
the teeth look perfectly pure and white.
Now a man like that fakir ought to be ar
rested, for he has forever destroyed the
boys teeth. HIS preparation, composed of
a powerful alkali, is eating away the enamel
of the boys teeth, and in few months the
poor younGster will not have a sound tooth
in his head. The dentrifices composed
chiefly of pumice stone are not as bad rs
those containing an alkali, because they will
not destroy the teeth so quickly; but if used
habitually they will as certainly destroy
them in the end
81 should advise a man by all means to
use no dentifrice of any description, unless
it be prepared chalk. If this is used not
oftener than once week it will not in
jure the teeth, and may help to cleanse
them, but it should on no account be used
every day. Orris root does the teeth no
harm and gives a pleasant odor to the
breath; and if all our dentifriceS were COM
posed simply of orTis root and prepared
chalk, they would be harmless enough, if
not beneficial. My own plan is to use a
moderately hard brush and plenty of cold
water and nothing else, and my teeth are
in excellent condition. If people would
only pick their teeth carefully after each
meal, making sure that not the slightest
particle of food remained near the gums or
between the teeth, and would also, before
retiring at night. run piece of soft thread
through their teeth, they would not have
any necessity for dentifrice OF course
sweets and candies are bad for the teeth; so
is smoking, or taking very cold or hot
drinks; but, bad as all these undoubtedly are.
| really think that the worst enemy the tooth
has is the so-called dentifrice Take the
advice of a dentist and never use any
thing for your teeth but brush and good
cold water"

Old Cathedral at ST. Augustine to q
point TO beauty not exceeded by any
church in America. One of his plans
which is worthy of special notice is for the
decorations of the eleven windows of the
church. They are TO be stained glass and
each window will represent a scene from the
life of st. Augustine. The glass is to come
from Munich, and the designing is TO bo
done by one of the most noted artists OF
Washington. The bell tower will be l2O
feet high, and will contain the bells and a
magnificent time piece Bishop Moore has
partially decided upon four dialS four and
one-half feet in diameter, to be illuminated
at night. The three affairs of the church
will be of pure marble, pews to be of an
tique oak especially designed for the cathe-
dral. The cathedral, as it was, was rec
tangular in shape 1t Will be cruciform
when restored. The front and seventy-seven
feet of the old walls remain.
j. w. Thompson (colored), editor Of the
Peoples Journal a weekly paper published
at Jacksonville, was arrested Wednesday on
two warrants, each being for several counts.
One warrant charged him with embeZzling,
at three different times, the sum of Sl3S,
one charge being for embeZZling 500, one
for S25 and the other for $l3. The other
warrant was taken out at the instance of
Joshua Williams, who charged him with the
bribery of several voters at the election
held the day previous. The charge is that
Thompson had gone to the polling place of
the Sixth ward and had spent the day, or
the greater portion of it, in buying votes
for himself as an Alderman of that ward.
The accuser cites as instances that he pur
chased the vote of James Shade, TO whom
he paid 81 so; Preston Evans, to whom he
paid 81; John Brown Thomas, who received
50; Morgan Williams, 81; James jackson,
81 so; and Washington Black, who received
81, for voting on that side. Thompson was
arrested, but gave bonds for his appearance
at the preliminary trial.

COL. TEXAS P. oCHILTREE TALKS.
He Likes an Easy Thing, and Puts a
Likely Conundrum for Cleveland.

From the Ne1o York Press.
1t has for some time been surmised that
Colonel, the Hon. Tom Porterhouse Ochil
desired return to Congress as the honored
representative of New York constituency.
Dispatches from Washington yesterday
augmented this suspicion and informed the
public that "Col. Larry Jerome and Gen.
John Chamberlain" considered the doughty
Colonel a sure winner.
When Col. Ochitree was asked about IL
at the Hoffman House by reporter he did
not deny the soft Impeachment. He smiled
broadly when shown an extract from yes
terday's Critic, which said The brilliant,
yet modest, Texas ranger is an Independent,
Democrat, Republican, Prohibitionist. and
is, therefore, qualified to represent any cog
nate, conglomerate constituency"
WELL" said the Colonel, tits rather
early to talk about such things yet should
not be greatly surprised il | should find
myself looking for Congressional nomna-
ton in this city next fall"
st is said, Colonel, that you will run for
Office on the Tammany Hall ticketf
Don't know whether shall or not" re-
piled the Colonel. 'Tammany Hall is a
powerful organization, one that controls a
great many votes, and, of course, would
like their Endorsement Still 1 should pre-
fer to run on an Independent ticket and
give every one chance to vote for me-
would like to be elected something like S.
D. Cox was, and thus go in without much
opposition. This is great deal better than
to be compelled to make a hard, close
tight on single nomination. 1t also leaves
man more free TO act when he takes his
seat. have never yet been beaten in a po-
litical fight said the Colonel, land don't
want TO begin now"
